Movie Review

The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

Political thriller or political satire? "The Manchurian Candidate" is both, and although it was made in 1962, it has lost none of its edge or any of its biting attacks on the American political circus. It feels just as taut, just as scathing, and just as paranoid as it did thirty-five years ago. "The Manchurian Candidate" is mostly a cinematic backlash against the absurdities of the McCarthy hear ... ...

Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent. But we are ready to show greater transparency and make clear for the whole world that the steps of the Islamic Republic of Iran are completely within international frameworks. The sanctions are unfair, the Iranian people are suffering, and our (nuclear) activities are legal. These sanctions are illegal and only benefit Israel.

Billy Joel and Elton John end dispute at Songwriters Hall of Fame gala

Billy Joel and Elton John have finally ended their two-year long feud at the 44th annual Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.

The tension started after an interview in 2011, when John, 66, told Rolling Stone magazine that Joel wasn't getting the necessary help he needed for his alcoholism, Us magazine reported.

The duo, who have toured together seven times over the years, continued to throw small jabs at one another in subsequent interviews.

However, both musicians addressed each other during their time onstage at the Thursday event.

When John accepted the ceremony's top award, the Johnny Mercer Award, he extended an olive branch, saying, "Mr. Joel, I haven't seen you tonight, but I love you dearly."

Later during the ceremony, Joel took the stage and sent a message back to John, assuring him that things were good between them. (ANI)
